No, we never got a 124 chassis badged 280E in the U.S. The 300E 2.6 has a smaller variant of the M103 engine - about 155HP I think. The 300E 2.8 has the M104, very much the same engine as used in the C280. It has 195HP. In both cases the cars were decontented a bit - MBtex interiors standard, no headlight washers, optional sunroofs - that kind of thing.
